PhD candidates

The Department of Prof. Dr. Philipp Berens and the Research Group of Dr. Dmitry Kobak are currently recruiting PhD candidates. 

They are analyzing large and complex data sets in neuroscience and ophthalmology to advance our understanding of the healthy eye and brain and how they are affected by degenerative diseases. They believe that data holds the key to answering many questions about how the healthy eye and brain work, how diseases impact their function, how they can be detected early, and how their time course can be predicted.  

Tehy are the interface that brings together data with domain knowledge and the most suitable algorithm to distill insight into scientific or clinical questions. The department is seeking curious, creative, and motivated candidates with strong quantitative skills in machine learning, neural modeling, and related topics to work on real-world medical challenges, uncover the intricacies of neural computations, or develop new algorithms to extract knowledge from data.

• If you want to join the Hertie AI as a PhD student, apply via the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS) until November 15th.
